I'd like to replace a mechanical millivolt (2-wire) thermostat for my propane space heater stove with a programmable one. I'd like to do this to ensure that the space heater doesn't heat overnight, which amounts to nontrivial propane and hence $$$ savings during winter time.
However, I can't seem to find thermostats that are at the same time battery powered, programmable and suitable for 2-wire millivolt setups. You semingly have either nonprogrammable 2-wires, or powered programmable ones, or smart ones that don't do millivolt.
Are there such thermostats for sale at all?
Here's why I need this:
- Battery powered: since I don't want to contort to give it a 24V supply.
- Programmable: so I don't need to remember to set the temperature manually. Doesn't need to be smart, doesn't need to connect to anything. I just need the ability to set a schedule.
- Millivolt: because the stove uses the millivolt thermostat circuit.

Yes Honeywell makes 2 wire battery controlled thermostats, some that look just like the old round ones of the past. I have a newer one on my pellet stove when the stove doesn't kick into high when below the set point I know the battery is dead.
